Building a Network through Friendship
To establish a solid freelance network, it's essential to focus on forming genuine friendships rather than strictly seeking potential clients. By making connections with people who are aware of your professional capabilities, you can create a support system that facilitates referrals and leads to new opportunities. Engaging in social settings with the intent of friendship can reduce the pressure often associated with networking, making the process more enjoyable and fruitful. This strategy helped one freelancer develop a seven-figure agency in just a few years by cultivating authentic relationships that naturally evolved into business opportunities.
